Mr. Charles J. Gahan on the 
The first of the above names seems to have beeu over- 
looked. Though Voet gives the locahty of his species 
as Guinea, there can be no doubt that this is his species. 
His figure is a very fair representation of it. The 
examples in a pretty large series taken by Mr. Smith 
difi'er in no important respect from Colombian and 
BraziHan specimens. There is a small amount of in- 
dividual variation in colour. The intermediate parts of 
the elytra lying between the yellow lines may be more or 
less dark brown ; the base and apex are almost invariably 
yellowish-testaceous. Two of the seven black spots (the 
two postero-lateral ones) on the pronotum are sometimes 
wanting. Oxymerus lineatus, Dupont, may be only a 
colour variety of this species. The pro thorax has a 
darker red colour ; and the elytra, with the exception of 
the longitudinal yellow lines, are almost entirely of a dark 
mahogany-brown colour.

This species, evidently not a true Callidium, has not 
been seen by me, and I am unable to assign it to any 
known genus.
